Homework Help!!!!!!!! Can you please help me answer this question?

Question

There are two basic reasons for why good health in US society is unequally distributed. First, adequate health care is unequally distributed and second, conditions promoting better health are unequally distributed. Explain and give specific examples?

Answer 1

Adequate health care is unequally distributed because those who cannot afford it are subject to lesser services. For example - someone on public assistance often has to rely on free services. These facilities may be overcrowded, staffed by doctors and nurses with lesser credentials and operated out of institutions lacking state of the art technology. In this instance, someone relying on these services may receive a lower quality of health care than someone who can afford to see an expert in their field working in a state of the art facility with few other patients.

As for the second part, conditions promoting better health care also may come down to finances. For example, someone who has very little money may not be able to afford to make good dietary choices - they will buy what is cheap and plentiful - even if it is not very healthy. They may also not have access to quality education about disease prevention and treatment, thereby making them more vulnerable to illness.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well I would think that if they're unequally distributed that means that only half of the sick people or part of the sick people are getting adequate care, leaving the other part to reinfect those that have received the good healthcare. Money would have something to do with it I'm sure. Most of us can't even afford healthcare.
Every company or entity has its own way of distributing the healthcare. They dictate to you what is available, the choice isn't ours to make. Every company does this differently making the promotion of health care different.
